RIP: Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut was the author of such works as Player Piano (1952), The Sirens of Titan (1959), Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) and Timequake (1997). Although often noted as a science fiction author, he has frequently expressed disdain at being labeled as such.

Very weird, a Hoosier native we just did a story (I work in TV) on Indianapolis choosing Slaughter-House Five as the One City One Book for this year. And calling 2007 The YEar of Vonnegut. He had several scheduled appearances here this year, now his son will cover them….
